The plate kit is very similar to the valvebody just cheaper with about 10 extra minutes of labor involved. Valvebodies are still being offered for pre96 transmissions as far as I know. The accumulator spring you need is included in the plate kit as well.

1) What difference is there between the separator and the valve body and what are the advantages/disadvantages of each?
2) If I still wanted to go with the valve body, where can I get it (alanat factorytechdot net?)
The reason I'm going for the valve body is because after buying the truck, I noticed that at 18-19 miles an hour and applying throttle, it seems the transmission searches for second then with a moderate clunk, it finds the gear. Really annoying... someone at some point suggested that I could have an accumulator spring that's broken and I've not looked into it. I definitely want firmer shifts and the trans "searching" between 1st and 2nd to be gone.
Your information will help.
Thanks,
Tom
